SteamOS 3.7.13 update gets fixes for more handhelds, fixes WiFi regression on Steam Deck OLED

Valve have launched the latest SteamOS 3.7.13 stable update, further enhancing how it runs on more handheld gaming PCs. The Steam Deck and Legion Go S are still the only current supported devices by Valve, but I’m sure that won’t stop you trying it anyway.

  • Updated screen reader to Orca 48.6.
